It's very strange to have free time on Saturdays.

Resign from Abbott by 4/4/10.
*Writing* 41 days and counting!

Brand the biz(es.)
*Writing* Goal met. I taught lessons all day, and one mom gave me lots of great marketing ideas. Another mom referred a new student to me, and brought him to band practice to check it out. I offered her a referral credit if he enrolls. And... I bounced around a potential commercial location with Molly Jean Author Icon. It's cute! But it may be a little too far. I also set a tentative date for a spring recital and started asking clients about availability.

15 minutes of small biz research per day.
*Check* Goal met. I've been reading a fascinating booklet entitled IRS Publication 15 (Circular E) Employer's Tax Guide.

Launch one new Praise Band song per month.
*Check* Goal met.

Post at WordPress at least once per week.

Launch one new repertoire song per week.

Taxes.
*Check* Goal met!

Writing commitments.
*Check* I added this goal because I committed to some Textbroker jobs. I finished my $20 OpenOrder by the deadline this morning. I also accepted four out of eight of my DirectOrders and have seven days to complete them. I'll accept the other four after I complete the first four.
